Former All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) national secretary Mr. Godwin Udu has charged that the party’s divided national chairman, Mr. Edozie Njoku, is impeding the party’s advancement.
Recently, Edozie declared that he had taken office and that the Independent National Electoral Commission, or INEC, as well as a Supreme Court ruling supported him.
A different faction, on the other hand, said that it had sued INEC in the Abuja High Court, claiming that the agency had neglected to produce proof that Njoku had ever held a national position within the party.

In a statement responding to the situation on Sunday, Udu asserted that Njoku and others were only stirring things up, ostensibly to divert the attention of the party’s legitimate owners and leadership.
“Edozie Njoku thinks that he can outsmart the National Chairman, knowing that this one, like his predecessor, Victor Ike Oye understands the game of politics.
“Our case with Njoku is coming up in October; so, let’s see which court gave him (Njoku) an order to be APGA’s national chairman,” he said.
He said that Mr. Njoku was quietly plotting his ascent to the position of national chairman of the party in anticipation of the 2024 governorship race in Anambra State, saying, “the whole idea is to reap where he did not sow.”
He said, “It’s obvious to party faithful that Edozie Njoku is merely using skirmishes to launch himself into becoming the chairman of APGA. And this he has started doing lately again because the Anambra election is coming up next year.

“He likes hobnobbing with one failed APGA candidate to another, promising them tickets. Someone has given them an assignment to go and create confusion in the party.
“This is someone who never participated in any APGA convention anywhere, yet he’s claiming the position of the national chairman of the party.
“We shall not fold our hands and leave him to destroy APGA and use the party as his meal ticket.
“You should go and look for what to do and leave APGA alone. Enough of people using Njoku to form APGA faction, because APGA is bonded from wards, local governments to states and national executives.”
